About

Behind a closed door and opaque curtains, you enter the dreamlike universe of jjacques, a space disconnected from time where the bar and kitchen unite to offer a unique experience. For one evening, let yourself be carried away by the energy that pervades it, enveloped by colors, textures, and materials, and savor the present moment. Come and enjoy an intimate and sensory pleasure-filled moment.

Is jjacques a restaurant, an oyster bar, or a cocktail bar? It's up to you to decide.

The cuisine is centered around sharing, focused on seafood and comprised of small dishes, but not neglecting fine cuts of meat and seasonal products. To fully experience it, take the time to savor one of our enticing seafood towers.

The cocktail menu, themed around travel, offers you around twenty original cocktails, both with and without alcohol, as well as many elegantly executed classics. The wine cellar hosts both classic fine wines and little treasures in nature. The bar shelves are home to the finest available spirits.

Named in Canada's 100 Best as one of the top 50 bars in the country since 2022 and holding the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, jjacques promises you an extraordinary evening. Reservations are highly recommended.

Restaurant exceptionnel dans l'ensemble. On comprend rapidement pourquoi il est si bien coté : service professionnel, ambiance maîtrisée & plats très bien exécutés.
Cependant, une erreur importante est survenue durant le repas : les acras de morue servis étaient froids au centre. Dans un établissement de ce niveau, ce type de détail ne devrait tout simplement pas arriver, surtout sur un classique comme celui-là.
Le plat a été retiré de la facture, ce qui est apprécié. Cela dit, considérant la réputation & le positionnement du restaurant, je m'attendais à une prise en charge un peu plus proactive pour compenser l'expérience.
Ça reste une très bonne adresse & je recommande, mais avec ce niveau d'excellence affiché, chaque détail compte.

Absolutely amazing service. My partner & I were visiting the city for our anniversary, fortunately a local recommended this speakeasy. Wonderful staff serving in French & English, & great selection of drinks to celebrate with. We will definitely be back in the future.

Nothing but amazing things to say about this speakeasy! The oysters are a MUST (their spicy sauce with mango is unreal), the cocktails cater to everyone's taste, their service is over par. Nicholas is so friendly, professional & helpful - made us feel right at home. Would recommend in a heartbeat & will be back very soon!

Wow, we had cocktails & dinner here last night & everything was fantastic.
Selection of cocktails was impressive- many different styles & complex. We sat at the bar & it was a really fun experience to watch them get made.
Food wise, highly recommend the butterfish tataki & foie gras torchon. We also ordered oysters (delicious!), mushroom tortellini & poached pear for dessert. All were excellent.
Service was 10/10 from start to finish- servers were lovely & attentive.

Would highly recommend & suggest reservations as it got busy really fast!

We had an exceptional experience at JJacques. The atmosphere felt exclusive & elevated, & the service truly stood out - especially thanks to Nathan. He took the time to walk us through both the food & drink menus with genuine care & enthusiasm, offering thoughtful recommendations that were absolutely on point. Every dish we ordered was outstanding, & thanks to him, we've discovered a new favourite cocktail: the Silver Monk.

A remarkable dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommended.

This place was the highlight of my trip to Quebec City.

The ambience was great; the music, the lighting, the decor.

The cocktails were very good (my husband & I shared three between the two of us), as were the oysters & blinis with gravlax.

The best part of our experience here was our server Nicholas, who took excellent care of us & made my birthday very special.

Highly recommend, & we will be back!
